I’ll be real. I haven’t been an active Facebook user in a few years. Most of my clients come from Instagram or referrals, and Facebook has often felt… cluttered. Busy. Loud. Hard to focus. That said, I know a lot of smart business owners who get incredible results there. Communities thrive. Relationships are built. Sales happen. So when I saw the upcoming layout changes Facebook is testing, my first thought wasn’t panic. It was… relief. A more visual, streamlined feed could actually make Facebook easier to use and easier to create for. Less noise. Clearer signals. More intentional content. What stood out to me most (and this matters): Text-based content isn’t disappearing. If anything, it may stand out more when paired with intention and clarity instead of filler visuals. This isn’t about chasing every platform shift. It’s about understanding how people are consuming and choosing formats that support real connection and conversation. Credit where it’s due: Molly Mahoney sparked this conversation and shared great insight on what’s coming. https://www.facebook.com/share/17rveMhAWx/ Curious… If Facebook felt less cluttered and more focused, would you show up there differently? 👇 Let’s talk about it.

Pausing will expose the story they already have about you Pausing to stay grounded is not avoidance. It is leadership. It is respect. It is kindness. You pause so you do not react from emotion. You pause so you can choose words that line up with your values. You pause so you can see the whole picture, not just your trigger. You pause so you can do right by everyone, including yourself. That same pause will often expose the story people already carry about you. Some will think: “She is thoughtful.” “He is taking this seriously.” “They are giving this the care it deserves.” Others will think: “They are ignoring me.” “They do not care.” “I have to push harder or I will be walked over.” Your pause did not create their story. It revealed it. You are not responsible for rewriting someone else’s inner narrative about who you are. You are responsible for staying in integrity with your own. Keep pausing. Keep being kind. Keep being respectful. The people who are meant to build with you will recognize it as respect, not disrespect.

I'm going to be sharing a video later today about the use of hashtags ln social media, especially considering Instagrams recent announcement of going from 30 to 3 only. What im curious is do you still use hashtags?
